Admissions open9 programmes across three enrolment paths

India is not short of demand. It is short of people trained to meet it.

Skin, hair and nutrition are growing faster than the number of people qualified to work in them. Two questions decide everything: what am I eligible for, and what makes a programme worth paying for. Start by telling us who you are.

I2CAN teaches aesthetic medicine, cosmetology, trichology and nutrition in India, grouped by who may enrol rather than by technology. Registered medical practitioners, practising beauty professionals and nutrition entrants follow separate tracks, because what each is permitted to perform after training differs. Every course is a vocational qualification, not a university degree.

01 / Three paths

Where each one
leads.

Three different starting points, three different sets of rules about what you may go on to do. Each opens onto its own set of programmes, written for that reader rather than for everyone at once.

For registered medical practitioners

Medical

For doctors entering aesthetic medicine, or adding it to a practice they already run. Covers diagnosis and patient selection as much as procedure, because in this field the decision matters more than the machine. Injectable work is open to doctors alone, and what any individual doctor may perform depends on their own qualification.

Explore the medical path
For non-medical professionals

Cosmetology

For experienced beauty professionals, salon owners and makeup artists moving into machine-based treatments. Machine-based skin and hair work, advanced skin procedures and semi-permanent techniques: the full non-injectable range, taught to the same standard as the medical path.

Explore the cosmetology path
For nutrition professionals

Diet & Nutrition

For people working in nutrition, and for those moving into it from healthcare, fitness or beauty. Diplomas covering food and dietetics, the nutritional side of skin and hair, and clinical nutrition therapy.

Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics and Skin Nutrition are open to doctors only.

Explore the nutrition path
02 / The full list

Every programme
we run.

Filter by who you are. Eligibility is set by the qualification you already hold, so the same course can sit on more than one path.

03 / Inside the training

What a batch
actually looks like.

Concept, then a real patient case, then your own hands. Across four centres and online, the sequence does not change.

04 / Before you choose

Nine questions worth
asking any institute.

Including this one. Training in these fields is unregulated enough that quality varies enormously, and the differences are not visible from a brochure. These are the questions that surface them.

  1. How much will I practise myself, and how much will I watch somebody else do it?
  2. Is there a written protocol for what I am taught, or only a demonstration I have to remember?
  3. Who teaches: full-time faculty, or visiting trainers between other commitments?
  4. What is issued at the end, by whom, and what does it actually entitle me to do?
  5. What happens if I need to see something taught again, a year from now?
  6. Does it cover consultation, pricing and client communication, or only technique?
  7. What support exists after the programme ends, and for how long?
  8. Is the full syllabus published before I am asked to pay?
  9. What does the institute tell me I will not be able to do afterwards?

That last one is the most revealing. Every qualification has boundaries, legal ones and practical ones, and an institute that will not name them before you enrol is unlikely to be straight with you afterwards either. Ask it of us too.

The long version: how to choose where to train, and what certification actually means
05 / Our answer

How we teach,
across all three fields.

The same method throughout, because the problem is the same throughout: knowing something and being able to do it in front of a real person are different achievements.

01

Concept, then a real case, then practice

In that order, every time. It is the order in which adults actually retain a skill: understanding first, then seeing it in a real person, then doing it yourself under supervision.

02

Cases carried all the way through

The same five to seven people are followed across the whole programme from different angles, rather than a new example each day. By the end you have followed several complete journeys, so the first real one does not feel like the first.

03

Written protocols

Step-by-step protocols for what is taught, in a book you take with you. Nothing depends on how good your notes were on the day.

04

Full-time faculty

People who teach as their profession rather than between other commitments, and who are still active and publishing in the field.

05

Come back as often as you need

Re-attend the diploma you paid for in any future batch, without limit and without further fee, for as long as you practise. A standing arrangement, not a promotional offer. It does not apply to the short certificates.

06

The last days are shaped by your plan

Whether you intend to be employed or to set up on your own changes what you need at the end, so the final stage differs accordingly: interview preparation for one, setup and operations planning for the other.
